Some bombastic book-related words: Learn the meaning (Part-I)
The members of ISC are all very attached to books. So, I thought that I must share some bombastic book-related words with the members. I have found 22 (twenty-two) such bombastic words which are related to books or book-reading. In the first part, I am sharing eleven such words with their meaning.1. Dog's Ear: It refers to the folded corner of a page in a book, typically caused by careless use or folding the corner to bookmark.
2. Librocubicularist: This term refers to a person who loves to read in bed or spends a lot of time reading in bed.
3. Epeolatry: It means worshiping or having excessive love for words (example- Dr Shashi Tharoor).
4. Logophile: A logophile is a person who loves words and enjoys learning about and using them.
5. Bibliosmia: It is the act of smelling books, often used to describe the pleasure or enjoyment derived from the smell of books.
6. Book-bosomed: This term is used to describe a person who always carries a book close to their heart or keeps a book tucked into their bosom, indicating their love for reading.
7. Omnilegent: An omnilegent is a person who has read or is knowledgeable about a vast number of books.
8. BallyCumber: This word denotes those books which a particular reader started to read but discontinued after reading partially.
9. Tsundoku (Japanese): Tsundoku refers to the habit of buying books and letting them pile up unread.
